I still haven’t sold this. But I want it to go to a good home, so im sticking it on here
one more time…
Offers in the region of £400 would be good (although it is valued at more than that).
So feel free to tweet this, re-blog it, tell your friends, tell your brother’s mate’s cousin’s
buddy who collects 80’s bmx’s preferably.
It’s a 1985 Skyway Street Beat in the Green/Purple/White colourway
(as modelled below by the lovely Lydia).
An awesome bike, as ridden by Scottie Freeman and the late
great Neil Ruffell back in the mid 80’s. Original Dia-Compe brakes,
Skyway EZ bars, on Skyway Tuff 11 mags etc..
Looks like it was made yesterday. All built from original 80’s parts.
Now, I know this ain’t the Free-Ads, but If you want it, make me an
offer in the comment section below and I’ll get back to you.
You could be ‘cherry-pickin’ in no time.
R.I.P Neil Ruffell

Joe has ridden for howies for a while now, the new season is nearly upon him and schedules are being planned, races booked and fitness tuned. Here’s a little bit of fun he had on the wee bike riding around the streets of his home.

It was such a lovely weekend ‘weatherwise’
There wasn’t a cloud in the sky over Cardigan yesterday, and although it was still pretty cold it finally feels as if we’re starting to shake off the last bits of winter and can look forward to Spring.
What better way to sum up springtime than snowdrops – I took this yesterday afternoon while on a walk through Cwm Degwel. lovely stuff! Viva la primavera!

I just saw this over on the greenormal blog, it’s got a USA theme but makes sense no matter where you live.

Amy from Big Top Design just emailed in asking us to persuade her husband to wash his jeans!
James has had them six months and has worn them every day apart from when he was at wedding according to Amy.
We think they look amazing plus think of all that saved water too.
Here’s a tip to stop the ’smell:’ Freeze them over night, kills all the dirty bacteria.
